Reading water is more important than how weight is attached.

Try this on the main fishing board. ...It could use the boost, and you'll get a better response there (ok, well...a BIGGER response).

Or use the search feature. This one gets discussed on occasion and ends up with 10 to 1 preferring fixed.

I agree with hb73....it's a good subject for discussion on the main bb.
I'm a fixed weight guy because it sinks quicker, but then I use pencil lead and when I get bit, the lead goes sailing pretty quick and then there is no lead in the fight. \:\)

Fixed always, sliding with extreme low weights can be a bitch to cast plus it's more effort to rig for no gain.

Bank drifting high fast water = slider

Otherwise, fixed.
